January 26th is a date recognised by many and represents more than just a sunny day in the middle of summer. On this day, Australians celebrate Australia Day, a public holiday set aside to recognise our country’s merits, relax and enjoy recreational activities, and celebrate the nation that people from so many diverse cultures call home.
On Australia Day 2020, there are many activities and celebrations to take part in, right across the country. Two important ones are:
Australian of the Year Award Announcement
These awards are given by the National Australia Day Council each year on Australia Day to members of the public in each state and territory. According to Karlie Brand, CEO of the National Australia Day Council, the finalists represent the diversity of Australia and the many ways in which people achieve in various fields and contribute to our nation.
Citizenship Ceremony
Australia Day is also the day where more than 16,000 people choose to become Australian citizens. Citizenship symbolises unity and demonstrates a commitment to the Australian people, their values, and the future of the nation.
Aside from these big national events, the Queensland Government will also be organising an extensive programme of activities and celebrations throughout the State. These include free waterparks and pools in Brisbane and a large fireworks and music extravaganza on the Gold Coast. For those more inclined to relax and enjoy the sun, sand and sea, our great beaches are also waiting!
Gourmet Meals inspired by our diverse nation
Just like Australia celebrates diversity and the many cultures that make up our nation on Australia Day, so too is the Gourmet Meals menu inspired by the melting pot of people who call Australia their home. We celebrate multi-culturalism and Australia Day by incorporating a wide range of dishes that represent our customers’ different cultural, religious and ethnic backgrounds.
Gourmet Meals is a family-owned and operated business based on the Gold Coast. We have been successfully operating for the past 27 years delivering healthy, nutritious and great tasting meals all over the Gold Coast, Northern Rivers, Ipswich, and outer Brisbane suburbs right up to Caboolture.
We offer a healthy meal option for those who want to improve their diet, may have problems cooking, or simply wish to cook less because of a busy schedule. As an approved NDIS provider, as well as an Aged Care Service Provider, of home-delivered meals, you can be confident that the Gourmet Meals menu is designed to meet the Australian Guidelines to Healthy Eating and the Food Standards Australia and New Zealand guidelines.
If you have elderly parents who may need extra support with their nutrition and particularly if they receive a Home Care Package, Gourmet Meals can help. Through the delivery of nutritious and healthy meals, your loved ones can enjoy staying in their homes and retaining their independence for longer.
Please note that we will be closed on the Australia Day holiday on Monday 27th January. If you have placed orders be sure to check when you will receive your Monday delivery. Happy Australia Day!
